...Scaffolding as a Teaching Strategy

I. Scaffolding as a Teaching Strategy – Definition and Description
Scaffolding instruction as a teaching strategy originates from Lev Vygotsky’s sociocultural theory and his concept of the zone of proximal development (ZPD). “The zone of proximal development is the distance between what children can do by themselves and the next learning that they can be helped to achieve with competent assistance” (Raymond, 2000, p.176). The scaffolding teaching strategy provides individualized support based on the learner’s ZPD (Chang, Sung, & Chen, 2002). In scaffolding instruction a more knowledgeable other provides scaffolds or supports to facilitate the learner’s development. The scaffolds facilitate a student’s ability to build on prior knowledge and internalize new information. The activities provided in scaffolding instruction are just beyond the level of what the learner can do alone (Olson & Pratt, 2000). The more capable other provides the scaffolds so that the learner can accomplish (with assistance) the tasks that he or she could otherwise not complete, thus helping the learner through the ZPD (Bransford, Brown, & Cocking, 2000).
Vygotsky defined scaffolding instruction as the “role of teachers and others in...

...﻿Theory of Scaffolding
Literature around Scaffolding:
There have been several discussions around scaffolding, in an attempt to define what it means for education. At the early stages of the theory of scaffolding, Wood, Bruner, and Ross (1976) explain the importance of the interactive, instructional relationship that tutors/teachershave in a learner's development, supporting that the attendance of others is significant for scaffolding skills acquisition and problem solving. They also emphasize on the importance for realizing the value of a solution to generate the sequence of steps that will lead to the solution of the problem, without scaffolding by an adult. As argued, this realization will result in effective feedback, as the learner will be able to value every step towards the solution, and therefore, in order for scaffolding to be effective the learner needs to generate solutions to the problem that are identifiable to them (Wood, Bruner, and Ross, 1976). However, in this scaffolding process, the tutor does not necessarily need to be a human; it can be a virtual, non-player character (NPC) as well. In this project, the scaffolding process takes place in the virtual environment of Quest Atlantis, where learners embark on a mission to resolve a problem, part of which requires the decryption of Mayan signs, and interpretation of them in...

...﻿‘What do you find significant in Heaney’s use of the extended metaphor of building?’
Scaffolding is a poem from the genre of relationships, and involves the narrator being one person in a relationship who uses the poem to talk to the other person. The key way in which the theme of relationships is presented is with the use of an extended metaphor.
Heaney utilises an extended metaphor which relates the different stages of developing a relationship to the different aspects of actually creating a building. The first three stanzas describe the process of building and the use of scaffolding and the final two stanzas display the narrator saying how this metaphor can be used in the context of their relationship.
The extended metaphor is presented through the use of many individual metaphors throughout the poem. For example the first stanza ‘Masons...scaffolding’ can be used to represent how people are cautious when they begin a new relationship, they do not rush in, but instead take time to get to know the other person and gain each other’s trust. Another one of these metaphors is line six ‘Showing off walls of sure and solid stone’ which refers to the stage in a relationship where two people know one another very well and are comfortable in the relationship, it becomes strong and will not be broken down by petty arguments and issues. In stanzas five and six the speaker is saying to the other member of the relationship not to...

...ScaffoldingScaffolding is a process used to help the child/learner master a concept or task; it enables the individual to reach higher levels of thinking (i.e. cognitive development) and helps to promote cognitive development throughout the life span. Zhao and Orey (1999) identifies two key rules to successful scaffolding; 1) to help the learner with those aspects of the task that the learner cannot manage on their own; 2) to allow the learner to do as much as he or she can without help (Zhao &amp; Orey, 1999).
Scaffolding is used in a very wide range of situations. Mothers naturally employ this approach as they teach their children how to live in and enjoy their world. Clay and Cazden (1992) identify two strategies used in scaffolding; 1) working with new knowledge and 2) accepting partially correct responses (Clay &amp; Cazden, 1992). Teachers from Pre-K to Adult Education appreciate the necessity and increased learning afforded by the use of scaffolding techniques. Non-traditional educational settings, such as business training scenarios, also use scaffolding techniques to assure the success of their employees and leaders.
Scaffolding is a very natural approach to ensuring cognitive development by working within the child’s “ZPD” (zone of proximal development), the area between what the child (learner) can do by himself and that which can be attained...

Conrad is a, soon to be, 5 year old boy who is very active and advanced intellectually. He would be categorized in Piaget’s preoperational stage, which is characteristic of an increase in representational activity (Berk, 2012). This is evident in how Conrad is currently playing. For example, one of his favorite things to do when he is at our house is to play “race cars” with Papa (my husband). He has a scooter that is kept at our house and the first thing he does is go to our garage to get his “race car”. He will then “set the stage” for us by making up a story of how he is a world famous race car driver and Papa is his teammate in the current race, thus demonstrating sociodramatic play (Berk, 2012). He will then map out the “race track” and “finish line” in the parking lot of our condo. After a few laps around the “race track”, he will change the storyline somehow, or change where the finish line is. This will continue until someone either makes him go inside or he has to go home, as he never really tires of the game, so he will not quit voluntarily. Conrad’s vocabulary, logical reasoning, memory, and self-understanding are all well advanced for his age and stage of development, suggesting that his preference for sociodramatic play has assisted in the advancement of these mental abilities. He is...

SCHOOL : SMA
CLASS : XI
SUBJECT : GEOGRAPHY
NOTES :
T = TEACHER
S = STUDENTS
T : Good morning students!!!!
S : Good morning mam!!!
T : How are you??
S : Fine, thank you. How are you?
T : I’m fine too. Okay, before we start our lesson, first I want to check the attendance (call the students’ name one by one).
Today we will learn geography. Who knows what part we’ll discuss?
S : I know mam, we’ll study about natural resources.
T : Great!! We will learn about the natural resources that our country has. We know that actually Indonesia is one of country in the world that has given a lot of advantages. It can be looked by the landscape, the ethnics, and the natural resources itself. As we know, those advantages which have gven by God, start to disappear because the human itself. Okay, let’s talk about the natural resources. What is definiton of natural resources in your opinion? Please..
S : In my opinion, natural resources is what God give to us for used to fulfill the human’s need.
T : Right Bella. Natural resources are all earth potensial which can be explored and used in production processes to fulfill human’s need.
Natural resources, such as soil, water, air, and minning, are formed naturally and natural resources have already there since the earth’s formation process.
Those reources can’t be usefull otherwise we explore and exploite them well. We as...

...speech. I, unfortunately, could not understand everything she was saying, but I noticed that she used private speech at the most difficult stage of this activity: applying the fitted sheet. My predictions were consistent with the reality of this activity, with my only having to use unanticipated positive reinforcement, and the unexpected occurrence of private speech. This activity was very useful, as it expounded upon my theories to implement practice, which is always important when analyzing and learning. This activity also offered insight into a career path I would not neccesarily be interested in. I know that adults scaffold children every day, but this level of close observation does not particularly appeal to my interests. Thus, this scaffolding activity emphasized the importance of integrating theory and practice, and it also demonstrated the uses of several developmental tools. To promote optimal development, I believe it is beneficial to pair a child with an activity he or she can do. It is also important to keep the child motivated and affirmed in the activity. Hence, positive reinforcement is crucial to the success of an activity. Lastly, expecting the unexpected when dealing with children is a great motto to keep in mind....
